]]>It’s rare, but every once in a while, things work out for couples on ABC’s The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. The show found another success story this weekend, when Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried tied the knot on Jan. 18 in Palos Verdes, Calif.

OnSean Lowe’s season of The Bachelor, Desiree got sent packing prior to the fantasy suite date, but got a second chance at love when she appeared as the next Bachelorette in Spring 2013. She gave her final rose to Chris, who proposed during the show’s finale (aired Aug. 2013), and the duo have been living together in Seattle.

Chris teased the wedding last week, tweeting, “So excited for the big day! @DesHartsock and I can’t wait to share with everyone! #countdown#9days#hopingforsun.”

]]>The Bachelor family was shocked by the news that fellow contestant Gia Allemand chose to end her life this week. After learning of the news that the 29-year-old had tragically passed away, several of the show’s former stars shared their support for the model and her family on Wednesday.

As Star exclusively reported, Gia hung herself on Monday. She was admitted in critical condition and remained that way until Wednesday morning, when a critical loss of brain and organ function caused doctors to withdraw life support.

Gia participated on Season 14 of The Bachelor, where she was eliminated in the final three by Jake Pavelka. She then went onto compete on The Bachelor Pad.

Check out our round-up of tweets from her fellow ABC reality stars:

“I am in complete shock and devastated to hear the news about Gia. She was one of the sweetest people I have ever known and a very dear friend. My heart goes out to her family during this very difficult time. We have lost angel today. I miss you Gia,” – Jake Pavelka

“My prayers go out to @GiaAllemand ‘s family during this time. Life on earth is but a vapor and she’s with our Lord now.” –Sean Lowe

]]>Newly engaged Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried plan to wait a year before walking down the aisle. The Bachelorette stars revealed their engagement on Monday’s season finale. Now they’re happily planning a wedding.

]]>After having her heart broken in part one of The Bachelorette season finale, Desiree Hartsock continued her journey to find love with either Chris Siegfried or Drew Kenney on Monday night’s final episode. But did she walk away with a big ol’ rock on her finger?

Things started with Des continuing to cry over Brooks Forester breaking up with her and leaving Antigua before their Final Three date. Considering Des thought she was in love with Brooks and saw a finish line with him, she was completely blindsided and taken aback, but decided to spend more alone time with both Chris and Drew before giving up.

After seeing Drew during their final date, Desiree realized (practically immediately) that he wasn’t the guy for her, so she sent him home right then and there, without even giving him a chance to impress her family. Things with Chris were different, though, and from the get-go of their private time, it was obvious that she had much stronger feelings for him. So, without knowing it, Chris was the only guy The Bachelorette welcomed to meet her family.

The baseball player won over the Hartsock clan (even Des’ brother, Nate, whose bad attitude had a lot to do with Sean Lowe sending her home last season), and even got permission from Des’ father to pop the question.

And later on — that’s just what he did! Of course, we had to sit through ten minutes of tears and confessions of love first, but in the end, Desiree accepted Chris’ proposal, and during the After the Final Rose live ceremony, the couple revealed that they’re still together now. In fact, Des is even moving to Seattle to move in with her man!

Before we could close the chapter on this strange season of the show, we had to stick around and find out which of Des’ suitors would become the next Bachelor. Despite not being on one one-on-one date with Desiree, fan-favorite Juan Pablo Galavis was announced as the next lucky guy who will try to find love on the show. Things seem to be working out well for Des and Sean as of now, so hopefully the hunky dad with the accent to die for can be just as lucky.

]]>Season 9 of The Bachelorette premieres Monday, May 27 with Sean Lowe’s fourth place ex Desiree Hartsock trying for another shot at love. While Des is obviously hoping for the best, a lot of times the relationships from the show (and it’s counterpart The Bachelor) don’t exactly work out and last.

However, there have been some success stories, with the show making it possible for eight current, happy couples to begin a relationship. Check out which contestants from The Bachelor and The Bachelorette are still together…even if they weren’t necessarily from the same season!

After being rejected on Season 1 of The Bachelor, Trista Rehn came back as the first Bachelorette, where she chose Ryan Sutter as her winner. The couple was married on Dec. 6, 2003 in a three-part, televised wedding special. Since then, they’ve mostly retired from the spotlight and live in Colorado with their two kids.

Jason Mesnick’s proposal was rejected when he was a contestant on The Bachelorette, but he got another chance as Season 13’s Bachelor. He originally chose and proposed to Melissa Rycroft, but revealed at the After the Final Rose Ceremony that he was still seeing runner-up Molly Malaney. Jason and Molly got married on Feb. 27, 2010, and have a daughter together, in addition to Jason’s son from a previous relationship.

Ashley Hebert was rejected on Season 15 of The Bachelor, but found love as Season 7’s Bachelorette when she chose J.P. Rosenbaum. They were married on Dec. 1, 2012.

Emily Maynard dumped Sean in third place on Season 8 of The Bachelorette, but he came back as Season 17’s Bachelor, the show’s most recent season. He and winner Catherine Giudici have been engaged since the show ended, and are planning a televised wedding. They’ve stayed in the spotlight recently because of Sean’s work on Dancing With the Stars.

John Presser, eliminated on Season 5 of The Bachelorette and Tara Durr, eliminated on Season 9 of The Bachelor, met through the show and were married in November 2010. They have one kid.

Peyton Wright, who was rejected on Season 10 of The Bachelor, married Chris Lambton, rejected on Season 6 of The Bachelorette, in May 2012. The couple is currently happily married after a year.

Holly Durst was rejected on Season 12 of The Bachelor. Blake Julian faced the same fate on Season 7 of The Bachelorette. Luckily, these two got through their heartbreak with the help of one another, and they wound up getting married in June of 2012.

Jesse Csincsak was the winner on Season 4 of The Bachelorette, but his relationship with DeAnna Pappas wasn’t long-term. Eventually, he meet Season 13 Bachelor reject Ann Lueders, and they got married in August 2010. Now, they have one son together.
